Hello all, hoping someone can help me with a transmission issue.

A few days ago I had driven my 2010 PPV Tahoe about 300 miles on the freeway without issue. Upon almost arriving to my destination, I was turning and heard what sounded like a grind from the transmission. I felt a small jerk when the car downshifted. The car was then parked. The next day, I started the car in the morning and it had extreme difficulty hunting for gears, often just letting the rpm hang. I immediately returned home and check the fluid level. It seemed fine and once the car warmed up, it drove relatively well but I noticed that the transmission appeared to be slipping.

Being out of town, I drove the car home back 300 miles on the highway. I noted that there was a short intermittent “howl” at 60-70 mph when accelerating. Approximately 1 mile from home, I exited the freeway and stopped at a light. Once I started to accelerate, the car went into limp mode and threw a p0700 and p0709.

Can any transmission experts chime in?

Edit: I forgot to mention that there were zero issues with the transmission prior to this. 207,500 miles on the car.

Drop the pan and see if what’s at the bottom. If there’s a bunch of metal and/or burnt clutch material, put the pan back on with a few bolts and yank it for overhaul. At 207k it’s due…

Hi Nick, here is the oil pan. Lots of metal in there. Would you suggest an overhaul or a remanufactured in? I’ve read horror stories on refresh jobs
